The High Priestly Prayer

17 When Jesus had spoken these words, ^(A)he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, ^(B)the hour has come; ^(C)glorify your Son that the Son may ^(D)glorify you, ² since ^(E)you have given him authority over all flesh, ^(F)to give eternal life to all ^(G)whom you have given him. ^3 (H)And this is eternal life, ^(I)that they know you, ^(J)the only ^(K)true God, and ^(L)Jesus Christ whom you have sent. ⁴ I ^(M)glorified you on earth, ^(N)having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. ⁵ And now, Father, ^(O)glorify me in your own presence with the glory ^(P)that I had with you ^(Q)before the world existed.

^6 (R)“I have manifested your name to the people ^(S)whom you gave me out of the world. ^(T)Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

^17 (A)Sanctify them^[a] in the truth; ^(B)your word is truth. ^18 (C)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And ^(D)for their sake ^(E)I consecrate myself,^[b] that they also ^(F)may be sanctified^[c] in truth.

²⁰ “I do not ^(G)ask for these only, but also for those ^(H)who will believe in me through their word, ^21 (I)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that ^(J)they also may be in ^(K)us, so that the world ^(L)may believe that you have sent me. ^22 (M)The glory that you have given me ^(N)I have given to them, ^(O)that they may be one even as we are one, ^23 (P)I in them and you in me, ^(Q)that they may become perfectly one, ^(R)so that the world may know that you sent me and ^(S)loved them even as ^(T)you loved me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^(U)with me ^(V)where I am, ^(W)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^(X)before the foundation of the world. ^25 (Y)O righteous Father, even though ^(Z)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. ^26 (AA)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love ^(AB)with which you have loved me may be in them, and ^(AC)I in them.”
